A Caldicott Guardian is an expert on confidentiality issues and access to patient and service user records. The post is held by a senior person, who is responsible for protecting the confidentiality of patient and service user information and enabling appropriate information sharing.
The NHS Bexley CCG Caldicott Guardian is Dr Sid Deshmukh. Dr Deshmukh can offer advice and information on queries about safeguarding the confidentiality of patient or service user information.
